Re: ellispe cone

Hello bullhayward, I usually just lurk here these days but I'll pop in on this one. Sense you have not shared which Workbench(s) you were using in your attempt, I'll just mention one way of doing it. FA.png I used Draft and made the first ellipse and then copied it and changed the major, minor, and ...

Re: Intersecting contours pocket.

Sure. But I thought it was clear from the screenshot... Those circles are in one sketch and grove works perfectly fine. First they were just touching - no problem there.

Re: g2core CAM

Anyone using G2Core to controll their CNC and FreeCad as their CAM solution? Is G2Core an open source project? If so where is its website or where is it hosted? I just did a search and did not find it, maybe that is why no one uses it, because they can't find it and don't know it exist? I recently ...

Where, in the build or config? I haven't been able to even get OCL to config for Python 3, flat out refuses, with py3 flag on it only configs using 2.7.

Re: How to activate openCamLib after compiling it

Your FreeCAD Python version is 3.6.8 and your building OCL for 2.7. Not going to work. Please let me know if you get OCL to build with Python 3.6.8. on 18.04.2, and how you did it. Haven't figured that one out yet....

Re: How to leave small gaps in cutting paths?
